Porter Goss Resigns

Bush's Personnel Announcement: So, will it be Snow, Rove, Rumsfeld, or Cheney? Any bets? And what is it about Friday afternoons?

Meantime, Bush isn't the only one rearranging his cabinet. Tony Blair apparently just fired one of Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice's closest European collaborators, Jack Straw. I am amazed, given how central he has been to US-UK strategizing on Iran. What's the back story to this?


UPDATE: HOLY XXXX. It's GOSS. Paging Ken Silverstein.
More here. "Era of transition," indeed.

Update II: We heard about photos. Maybe that reporting wasn't so "wildly irresponsible" after all?
